Top 2 Girl Names

Narrowed it down to 2 name choices, which are Calista & Cataleya. :smiley: Keep the “S” Theme going or not keep? :thinking: Does anyone think Calista is too close to Marissa? I hope it isn’t because I love Calista! :grimacing::face_with_peeking_eye::worried: The name June is to honor the baby we lost in June 2021 (Not my due date month, June was the month I had my miscarriage). Would it still be considered honoring the baby we lost if we aren’t using a middle name that has to do with my due date month of that baby? My due date was supposed to be February 3rd, 2022. If anyone has any February girl name suggestions, plz list them. A few I am possibly considering are Amethyst, Iris, Nayley, Mina, & Zinnia. Also, is it ok if we use the nickname Callie with 2 “Ls” if we spell Calista with 1 “L”? I really don’t like “Cali” spelling. :thinking:

Siblings are:

Salina Ann N. (Stepdaughter)
Justin Jakob M. (My son)
Marissa Marie N. (Stepdaughter)

  • Calista Juliet Novelo nn CJ/Callie/Callie J
  • Calista June Novelo nn CJ/Callie/Callie J
  • Cataleya Carmen Novelo nn Cece

I don’t think [name_f]Calista[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Marissa[/name_f], especially with nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f] (perfectly fine to use this spelling imo - a lot of Eleanors get [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] not [name_u]Elie[/name_u] and Matildas get [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] not Tily, after all!)

I like [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] for you, I think

The S thing is so subtle that I wouldn’t have noticed if you didn’t point it out. Don’t worry about continuing or not continuing it.

[name_f]Calista[/name_f] and [name_f]Marissa[/name_f] are a little close, but I don’t think that ruins the name, especially since it sounds like you’d be calling [name_f]Calista[/name_f] “Callie”. (And yes, I think that nickname with that spelling very much works. I love [name_f]Calista[/name_f] nn Callie.)

[name_u]Cataleya[/name_u] is also a nice name, and you could still use the nickname [name_f]Callie[/name_f] with it. But I prefer [name_f]Calista[/name_f].

Finally, I think [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] are the best combos with middle names you suggested.

Good luck with the baby name.
